Additional Details:
An official invitation to the Golden Potlatch in Seattle from July 15-20. The card features Pacific Northwest Coast art and includes a message in Chinook Jargon with its English translation. The translation reads: "It will be good for you to come to Seattle a little later in the summer. We are going to give a big Potlatch and have lots of fun. We very much want you to come and stay with us. Please pass the word along to other friends." The back further explains the origin of the term 'Potlatch' and describes the event as a magnificent annual spectacle.
